USAF ACADEMY, Colo. (GoThunderWolves.com – Mar. 8, 2014) – The Colorado State University-Pueblo men's tennis team fell 7-0 to Division I Air Force, Saturday afternoon at the Academy's indoor tennis courts.

Saul Shrom (Sr., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) and Emir Machado (Fr., Caracas, Venezuela) fared the best for the Pack in doubles but went down 8-6 to Air Force's Alex Grubb and Jack McCullers in the No. 1 spot.

Winning the doubles' point in the Division I format, the Falcons then won all six singles matches by convincing margins although Trung Le (So., Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam) put up quite a fight in his No. 4 match against Grant Taylor, before succumbing 8-6 in the second set tiebreaker of the 6-2, 7-6 match.

The Pack, now 0-4 officially this spring, will host two matches on Sunday at the Pueblo City Park courts.  They face Division III Colorado College at 9 a.m. and St. Edward's (Texas) at 1 p.m.
